Stefan Marx: Schriftbilder / Type Works

DESCRIPTION
----------------------------------------
Playful text-image works from the popular artist and illustrator Stefan Marx

過去二十年間，德國現代藝術家、滑手、插畫家 Stefan Marx 持續從歌詞詩句、流行詞彙或陌生人的對話中擷取，轉化成自己在二維平面上的素描和插畫設計創作，例如 “I guess I shouldn’t be telling you,” “funny how I find myself in love with you,” “this is so not what I wanted.” 等等抽象且難以描述的內容出現在印刷、獨特藝術作品、壁畫或者一張小邀請卡上。

Schriftbilder / Type Works 是第一本將各式各樣媒材作品集大成之作，內文亦充分說明了 Stefan Marx 的素描、版畫印製和繪畫技巧以及他獨特的藝術與流行文化、符號和生活間的相互影響。

Over the past 20 years, the German contemporary artist, skateboarder and illustrator Stefan Marx (born 1979) has been translating lines from songs, popular sayings and quotations into paintings or drawings on two-dimensional surfaces—interpreting phrases such as “I guess I shouldn’t be telling you,” “funny how I find myself in love with you,” “this is so not what I wanted,” and others abstracted to the point of illegibility. These pieces may be realized in an edition, a unique work, as a mural in a house or as a small invitation card.

Schriftbilder / Type Works is the first volume compiling these pieces in all mediums. Essays explain Marx’s drawing, printmaking and painting techniques, as well as his unique interplay of art and pop culture.
